I have a hunch that one of the very main reasons Barack Obama was elected was to deal with Iran. He's going to charm the Iranians into a stupor like he charmed the Americans, Europeans, South Americans, Egyptians, Haitians and just about everyone else. After Obama gets through with his Campaign of Charm & Nuance the Iranians won't know what hit them. Not only will the mullahs stop weaponizing plutonium they'll be overjoyed about it. They will start growing bananas and cherries in the desert. Obama will play the hyper-empath, compassionate emergency counselor sent in to deal with the psychotic problem child, like Richard Gere in Primal Fear. He'll let the mullahs have their say: they will get to yell at the United States. Stern words at first...giving way to smiles then supplication...everything very diplomatic and respectful. Solemn amends for meddling in the past on one side, half-promises to cut off ties with Hamas et al. In doing so Obama will show the world that he is fair enough and magnanimous enough to allow them their say, and a few months later the Iranians will find themselves without a single working nuclear reactor of their own.
